Chthonic Guardian[]

'The gateways between good and evil perk my curiosity. If I penetrate those barriers, I could corrupt the all creation. The All-Father would bow to me. My probes discovered beings there. The most exhausting are incorruptable, known as Chthonic Guardians. They thwart my attempts to disrupt nature's balancing forces. Armored in etherstone with mighty wings and inpenetrable shields, their strength is not attacking but defending. They fight for all eternity, inspiring others to stand when they should flee. If discovered, I fear this nuisance will foil my plan to contort the natural world.'
